It is a bit of a waste of time to detail it because the whole car needs to be chemical dipped but it does look good while being worked on

his reaction to the finished product really shows that he’s absolutely the right guy to have this car

As someone that is working to restore a 67 Mustang that my mom and dad brought new, I always love to see others being saved. This one turned out so good especially considering where it started. It does seem to have a bit of an indentity issue between being a 67 or 68. The grill is from a 68 as are the front seats. 67 seats did not have a locking back to the best of my knowledge. Also think the C strip on the exterior was a 68 option. But still a great looking car. The owner might want to look behind the dash to see if the build sheet is there. Ford often taped those to the wiring harness behind the dash. It will have a lot of great information about the car and how it was when it left the factor.

All good points - one of the best things about the 67 was the pony and star corral in the grill, not the simple corral of the 68. With the chrome trim on the wheel wells and below the doors, it needs the pop off gas cap as well. Adding a new hood with the embedded turn signals would be good as well, a 67 option, standard on 68. Under the hood, a windshield washer box instead of a bag indicates a later 1967.

Excellent job! I can’t believe the carpet! For nearly 60 year old loop pile and to have been saturated by mouse urine for years the fact it came out intact, survived the drill brush and pressure washed clean is beyond a testament to the quality of Ford (and other Detroit) products in this time period. I’m baffled how well this car cleaned up. I’m shocked honestly. Amazing work sir. Wow.

So basically most of the time back in the 60s and 50s when these cars were made, they were incredibly cheap for today’s money for example you could get a base model 65 Mustang for around $2500 when people were done driving these cars, they didn’t think to protect it because they weren’t really valuable back then, sometimes if a person had an emotional connection to the car, then they’ll cover it but most of the time that’s not the story

For the chrome pitting, one thing I found that works really well is to take a ball of aluminum foil, spray the chrome wd-40, and then sand the chrome with the aluminum foil ball. The aluminum is softer than chrome and will remove corrosion and fill in pits. While it will not be factory new, it is actually rather amazing how well it works

Dude, that transformation is unreal! I hope Nolan can get that beauty up and running soon.

Hands down the best owner reaction EVER! Great job Mitch, you are awesome!!

I’ve been watching you for a year or so and that was the best reveal!!! He was blown away! It’s funny to come across this tonight because I was just telling my son that his grandma owned an orange Mustang when we were kids. Amazing work on the details! I know the smell and all of the materials they gnawed to make bedding is really bad for you to breathe in but I’ve seen some of your details from customers who actually DRIVE around in their cars. At least this one has the, “I’ve been sitting in a barn for a hot minute!”, excuse, and you sure did it justice!

Kudos to you!! You have nerves of steel😅😅 when encountering the dead and live mice. I wouldn't pick up a dead mouse even with gloves!! You did an awesome, amazing job ❤❤💯

It's been a pleasure seeing Mitch leveling up through life

I think if I were in your shoes, I’d be apologizing to this beauty for being so mistreated all those years. You did an amazing job with her.

Your dedication is amazing, Mitch. I always learn something new from your videos. The floor pans and the rockers are in amazing condition - that is going to make an amazing restoration! I'd definitely be replacing that carpet, though. There's no amount of steam cleaning that would make me comfortable driving that.

The owner seems like a very nice guy! I'm happy for him!

I call it " The Mouse Stang" Great car to restore.

My first car was a '67 Mustang, so this brought back memories of getting it cleaned up when I was a teen and in my 20s. I'd love to own one again someday. Thanks for the video!

Mitch the work you accomplished was phenomenal. An the appreciation shown by the client nearly brought me to tears. I could just feel it. Well done! Sooo well done.

Phenomenal job! And so gratifying to work for someone who really appreciates all you did. Would love to see it when it's totally restored.

I really love watching you clean cars. You're so meticulous in your efforts, and the finished product is always wonderfully done. If I lived in Canada, I'd certainly bring my car to you for detailing.

Watching this was kind of special to me. I owned a 67 mustang coupe for years. It was a light turquoise color with the black interior, and I kept it in good shape until I sold it to build a street rod. Now I own a 66 mustang, coupe. The cool thing about it is you have a little bit of each of these cars here. While my 67 was turquoise my 66 is red with the black vinyl top. That made it even more fun for me to watch. I’ve cleaned up a lot of messes in my life but I don’t think I could handle that one. Congratulations on the great job.

I really like the new music you use in your videos and i LOVE that you took out the carpet to clean it- it just gives the feeling of a really deep clean 😊 and all the polishing was the cherry on top ❤

I count it a privilege to have lived when these cars were rolling off the assembly line. Back in the 60's all of the manufacturers were turning out iconic muscle cars and it was fun to see the HP increasing every year! Being a Mopar guy I loved the Cuda's, Challengers, Chargers, & Road Runners. There is nothing like a 426 Hemi turning the car sideways on the downtown streets on Saturday night as we raced through the stop lights. Thanks Mitch, for an incredible trip down memory lane.

One of my cousins actually just restored a ‘67 Chevelle and a ‘67 Nova. It’s amazing seeing classic cars be rebuilt and restored. Great video Mitch!

Classic restored! Thank you!

You forgot to clean under the hood 😂

Always thrilled to see one of these! They are so rare now, even though I live in San Francisco, California (with our temperate climate). I owned the same one in early 1990’s. It was red, but not that sweet looking candied apple ❤! Thanks for taking me back…. JT. Nice job too. So glad to see the seatbelts get done as well.

Never have been a ford mustang fan. My 60’s car would be a 67 fastback stingray with the split rear windshield. You did a fantastic job of cleaning and detailing it. Kudos!

Best part about a Mustang is it's aftermarket. Every single piece in that car is available. If it were me, I'd just throw away all of that interior.

Best owner's reaction!

Best client reaction!!!! He was SO happy! You did such an incredible job 😊

Ford Mustangs are my favorite cars and seeing how you transformed this beauty has left me speechless. Mitch, you are the best! Beautiful job.

Awesome job! I had a white 68 Mustang Notchback with a red C Stripe on the side. It brought back a lot of memories of my first new car. It was $2,350 out the door with my Dad’s A-Plan discount. My Dad would only sign if I bought the 200 cu. in. Straight Six with a three speed shifter. He didn’t want me to get into trouble with a V-8.

You did an awesome job for this old pony. If you’re detailing any classics in the future the 0000 Brillo steel wool pads work great for cleaning old chrome and steel, the old shift handle for example. Hope this tip helps.

That was a massive undertaking Mitch. You really stepped up to the challenge on this one! My dad had a ‘66 Mustang as I was growing up. Unfortunately it met its demise when he decided to knock a train off the tracks with it. Fortunately he survived and is living a great life. My favorite car was a ‘70 Thunderbird.

Nolan's got an amazing car there! It's clear the previous owner did some major work on this car - the floors look solid, the sills look solid, the trunk floor is solid, don't see any major rust on the wheel arches, the dashboard isn't all melted and deformed. And everything under the hood looks like it's there. That vinyl roof also looks like it is perhaps only a couple of decades old and not 50+ years old. And those engines are bulletproof and easy to recondition - he should have no trouble getting it back on the road. I also noticed at least one brake disc - so either the car has already had a conversion or has the parts for the conversion. Good luck Nolan, and amazing job Mitch!
